[TopCat]

Best news of the day

 

[Geronimo]

Thought it was a race?

Aye.
And Blackburn won it thank fk.

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

Blackburn have won race to land Boro's Stewart Downing

One horse race.

 

[viccarlton]

He was reet though, reet?

A broken clock is right twice a day.

 

[Safc88]

Good. He’s absolutely not what we need

 

[wilberforce]

he will still be a very good player in the 'right' side. just not ours, we need physicality, pace and power adding (Blackburn might already have that)

 

[jimb]

Good he is finished, been really poor since he rejoined boro supposedly.

 

[Zak's Dad]

Him and Rodwell in midfield

Imagine...

There's barely a footballer to made out of the pair of them combined.

 

[BDI]

dont need him.. we have McGeady, and Downing is now passed it... didnt we try and sign him last year

 

[gipetto]

Good.

Another huge bullet dodged thank god.

 

[kildaremackem]

One thing isn’t too high tho ...
him

Old , slow, small , we have enough of them already . Well avoided .

funny how players the experts on here deem not good enough for safc end up at clubs in higher divisions..

 

[seanwharton]

It’s not great if Ross wanted him!

 

[bedlington mackem]

Him and Rodwell in midfield

Nah ....Mowbray is converting JR into a world class Centre half. The Downing project will be a world class centre forward

 

[mackem49000]

Thank god

 

[Ralph]

Am I right in thinking he gets a shockingly low number of assists considering the positions he plays in?

 

[Herberthall]

FFS Another one we've missed out on......................champion.

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

Were we ever in for him?

 

[Ashley In!!]

Were we ever in for him?

Yep.

Pleased we didn't get him, concerned we were in for him in the first place. Absolutely not what we need.

Not many people said he wasn’t good enough, most said he isn’t what we need at the moment which is absolutely correct.
